Little Bigs Bakery was slapped with a cease and desist order from the Cronut's creator over the use of the work Cronut. A Cronut is a combination croissant and donut.

The name Cronut has been trademarked by the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City.

So the owners of Little Bigs decided to change the pastry's name and asked Facebook fans for some help.
